These are the potential pairings in Seattle. I know the ITA usually doesn't like to pair up conference members in the Round of 16 but I don't think they can avoid an SEC matchup this year since there are 7 SEC schools in the final 16.

If this is correct when the draw comes out, it would be very interesting because OU would have been playing Kentucky twice within a few weeks. Both schools are very deep in talents and within 1 spot of each other in the ranking.

Last year UCLA was an 8th seed but instead of them playing the 9th seed which was Stanford to avoid the conference matchup the ITA moved Stanford to the bottom half of the bracket and they played the 7th seed Baylor while UCLA played the 10th seed Duke.

You're right. I'm thinking of 2011 when Tennessee and UGA played each other in the first round, when UGA could have been switched with Texas A&M or Duke to avoid the conference matchup.

Does anyone know if the video at USC is working? Last year they were toast most of the time.

Looks like that's a no on that piece of ____ scoreboard @ USC. It still has Georgia Tech vs. Fresno State posted even though USC had a doubleheader today. Sure would be nice if they could get it working by Friday for their match against Texas.

I'm usually more surprised if it's working properly. Sad but it is what it is. OSU had three columns of scores, one for doubles and two for singles. But after the doubles finished they posted the singles scores there and it was impossible to see what happened after the first sets. LOL. Do these people even look at their own scoreboards? Sad state of affairs. In college tennis you are given tidbits of info and it's like solving a mystery to figure out who won. And even if the scoreboard appears to be working, you celebrate a victory only to find out later that the scoreboard was screwed up and you're team actually lost. How many here have experienced that little bit of pleasure?

I'm guessing if a single lightbulb was out in the men's bathroom at the football stadium they would have it fixed in less than 5 minutes, but alas this is just tennis...why would the 4 time National Champions need a working scoreboard?
